The Effectiveness of Psychoeducation Based on Problem-Based Learning to Enhance Subjective Well-Being

Abstract

The 2023 Work Gratitude Day survey shows that 48.9% of employees feel grateful when they get rewards in the form of materials, 41% feel grateful when they get additional leave, and the rest feel grateful for personalized rewards (Lomas, 2024). In fact, individuals feel grateful and happy when they are associated with material things that are general and temporary. Individual happiness and gratitude can be explained through the construction of subjective well-being. Subjective well-being is the ability of individuals to conduct cognitive and affective evaluations of their lives (Diener, 1984). This research aims to provide education and promotive efforts that can be an individual's capital to improve subjective well-being in themselves. The expected output is an increase in knowledge in the form of being able to find creative ways to foster subjective well-being in oneself. The intervention was in the form of psychoeducation which was attended by 24 experimental groups and had the last education at the strata 1 level. Webinars are designed based on problem-based learning. The research design is a quasi-experimental one group pretest and posttest design. Convenience sampling techniques, and hypothesis tests using the Wilcoxon signed-rank statistical test. The results of the analysis test showed that the significance value of p=0.018<0.05 there was a significant increase in the score before the psychoeducational intervention was given and after the psychoeducational intervention was given to the subject. This shows that problem-based learning-based psychoeducation is quite effective in increasing participants' understanding of creative ways to foster subjective well-being in themselves.

Survey Work Gratitude Day tahun 2023 menunjukkan bahwa 48.9% karyawan merasa bersyukur apabila mendapatkan imbalan berupa materi, 41% merasa bersyukur apabila mendapatkan cuti tambahan, dan sisanya merasa bersyukur mendapat imbalan yang dapat dipersonalisasi (Lomas, 2024). Faktanya individu merasa bersyukur dan bahagia apabila dikaitkan dengan hal material yang umumnya dan sementara. Kebahagiaan dan kebersyukuran individu dapat dijelaskan melalui konstruk subjective well-being. Subjective well-being adalah kemampuan individu untuk melakukan evaluasi kognitif dan afektif terhadap kehidupannya (Diener, 1984). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi dan upaya promotif yang dapat menjadi modal individu meningkatkan kesejahteraan subjektif dalam diri. Luaran yang diharapkan yakni peningkatan pengetahuan berupa mampu menemukan cara-cara kreatif menumbuhkan kesejahteraan subjektif dalam diri. Intervensi berupa psikoedukasi yang diikuti oleh 24 orang kelompok eksperimen dan memiliki pendidikan terakhir pada jenjang strata 1. Webinar dirancang berdasarkan problem-based learning. Desain penelitian yakni kuasi-eksperimen one group pretest and posttest design. Teknik pengambilan sampel convenience sampling, dan uji hipotesis menggunakan uji statistik wilcoxon signed rank. Hasil uji analisis menunjukkan nilai signifikansi p=0,018<0,05 terjadi peningkatan signifikan pada skor sebelum diberikan intervensi psikoedukasi dan setelah diberikan intervensi psikoedukasi pada subjek. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa psikoedukasi berbasis problem-based learning cukup efektif untuk meningkatkan pemahaman peserta mengenai cara-cara kreatif menumbuhkan subjective well-being dalam diri.
